New parents face a host of challenges upon bringing their bundles of joy home for the first time. One of those challenges is altering their lifestyles so they can more capably tend to their child’s needs.

Though expecting parents no doubt anticipate changing their lifestyles to accommo-date their growing families, few may know the specifics of how their lifestyles will change.

Finding time to exercise can be difficult for anyone. But new parents may find it especially difficult to get daily physical activity. While the following ideas may not replace the vig-orous workouts new parents are accustomed to, they may help men and women maintain healthy body weights.

• Skip shortcuts. Physical activity can be embraced just about anywhere. Though you may be used to daily workouts at the gym, such excursions may no longer fit into your schedule. To counter your reduced hours at the gym, skip the shortcuts you have grown accustomed to taking. For example, take the stairs up to your office instead of the elevator and park further away so you can squeeze in some cardiovascular exercise.

• Spread your workouts out over the course of the day. Many people tend to get all of their daily physical activity in one fell swoop. But that’s main-ly done for convenience and not necessarily effectiveness. Workouts can still be effective if you spread them out over the course of the day. Exercising

in small intervals throughout the day may help you maintain your energy throughout the day, and that should be espe-cially appealing to parents of newborns. Squeeze in a quick workout each time your child naps throughout the day.

• Continue setting fitness goals. Once your child comes home, it’s easy to fall into a routine that does not include exercise. But your long-term health depends on a host of factors, including how phys-ically active you are. Keep setting fitness goals even if it seems like you will have no time once your child is born. These goals can motivate you to find time for exercise no matter how much your lifestyle has changed.

• Take your child along. When the weather permits,

include your child in your exercise routine by taking the baby along with you on walks or bike rides.

New parents need not aban-don their exercise routines

upon welcoming their child into the world. A concerted ef-fort on the parts of moms and dads can ensure they continue to get adequate exercise each day.

New parents can squeeze in physical activity

Flying with infants can be difficult, as airplane cabins can hurt youngsters’ ears and cause them to cry. In addition, parents may be nervous that something might go wrong when flying with infants, potentially making the flight less enjoyable for parents and their fellow passengers. The following are a handful of ways to simplify flying with kids less than two years of age.

• Choose an infant-friendly flight time. Flying at a time of day or night when infants typically sleep can increase the chance that babies will sleep through much of the flight. When booking flights, keep kids’ usual nap time in mind before selecting an itinerary.

It also pays to familiarize yourself with the airline’s policy regarding infants and carry-on bags before booking your flight.

• Choose an aisle seat. You and your baby likely won’t make it through the flight without having to stand up and walk to the bathroom or simply walk the aisle to calm your baby’s nerves. • Feed your child and check his or her diaper before takeoff. Hunger and/or wet, dirty diapers typically make infants cry no matter where they are. If you want your baby to fall asleep the moment you board your flight, make sure he or she is well fed and has a clean diaper prior to boarding. Close the window if the sun is shining through, as that

can make it difficult for kids to fall asleep.• Prepare for takeoff and initial descent.

Pressure changes in airplane cabins tend to be most noticeable during the takeoff and ini-tial descent. Such changes are when ears are most likely to pop. Many adults experience discomfort when their ears pop during cabin pressure changes, and infants are no differ-ent. Some parents find that offering infants pacifiers or bottles as cabin pressure is about to change can help infants make it through such changes without crying.

Flying with infants may be something parents prefer to avoid, but there are ways to make such travel go smoothly.

There’s no magic formula for parenting a newborn. Parents do their best to prepare for the mo-ment they bring their new son or daughter home for the first time, but it’s only through trial and error that most parents learn which childcare techniques work on their children.

One condition new parents often face is infant colic. Spells of crying mixed with discomfort and inability to get settled can make for worn-out babies and equally frazzled mothers and fathers.

‘Colic’ is a term used to de-scribe uncontrollable crying in an otherwise healthy infant. Babies who are younger than five months old and who cry for three or more hours per day during a period of three or more days a week, with such episodes lasting for at least three weeks, are classified as having colic. ‘Colic’ is a term, not a specific disease, and there are no long-term health effects.

Parents often find that colic arrives when a baby is two or three weeks old, according to Baby Center. The American Academy of Pediatrics says it is

quite common for episodes of colic to occur between 6 p.m. and midnight. Roughly one-fifth of all babies will develop colic.

Colic may be blamed on gas or sensitivity to milk protein in for-mula or breastmilk. But colic often occurs because the child’s nervous system is immature and the baby is sensitive to outside stimulation. The infant cannot self-console, and it could take several weeks or months for him or her to grow accustomed to outside stimuli.

Distraught parents may think there’s no end in sight when facing an infant with colic. But many cas-es of colic resolve by the time the child is three or four months old.

Parents who suspect their child has colic should first rule out any other medical conditions. If the child is otherwise healthy, one or more of these methods may help soothe a colicky baby.

• If you suspect gas, gas-relief medications can be administered under the advisement of a pedia-trician. Probiotics also may help maintain a natural balance of good bacteria in a baby’s digestive tract.

• Hold the baby as upright as

possible during feedings and burp him or her often.

• Avoid potential allergy-induc-ing foods if you are breastfeeding. Consider switching formulas to one with broken down proteins which are easier to digest.

• Use white noise, such as a fan, running clothes dryer or another steady, rhythmic sound, to help

the baby fall asleep.• Some children like to be held

closely and comforted. When you cannot hold your baby, try swaddling.

• Rocking motions or riding in the car can soothe some children.

• A warm bath may help calm a crying baby.

• Infants may sense if their

parents are tense. So if you are feeling anxious, leave the room or get out of the house and ask a friend or family member to sit with the baby for a little while until you can calm down.

Colic is a mystery to parents and doctors alike. It can be a trying experience, but one that resolves itself in time.

Parents of young children know that getting kids to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. Kids have a long his-tory of disliking dental care, which can frustrate parents who know the importance and long-lasting benefits of proper dental hygiene.

While many youngsters may nev-er excitedly run to the bathroom to brush their teeth, parents can try various approaches to get kids to embrace proper dental care.

• Start early. Parents should not hesitate to begin cleaning kids’ teeth once the first tooth appears. The earlier dental care is part of a child’s routine, the more likely he or she is to accept it as part of everyday life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using a soft-bristled brush with a small head. Ideally,

use a toothbrush designed for infants, brushing teeth once per day at bedtime. The AAPD advises taking kids to visit a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than the child’s first birthday.

• Make it a group effort. Young children love to imitate their

parents’ actions. Moms and dads can use that adoration to their advantage when trying to get kids to brush their teeth.

• Involve kids in choosing their dental care products. While parents should be mindful of the type of toothbrush their children use, let youngsters choose their toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids might prefer a particular flavor of toothpaste, and a colorful toothbrush with a favorite film or television character might make kids more enthusiastic and less fussy about brushing.

• Compliment kids after posi-tive dental appointments. When pediatric dentist appointments go well, compliment children and express your pride in them for taking dental hygiene as seriously as they do.

The Birthing Center medical staff includes trained and certifiedOB/GYNs, Family Practice Providers and Pediatricians.

Pediatric ophthalmologists are medical doctors who spe-cialize in providing comprehensive eye care to children. In the first year of life, infants should receive routine screen-ings to determine their eye health, and such screenings can be performed by a pediatrician. However, newborns with a family history of eye problems may be considered “at-risk,” so their examinations should be conducted by a pediatric ophthalmologist.
